TIE HOLDER Filed April 14, 1941 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Y Afton/qr Patented Feb. 10, 1942 5 TD STTS 1 Claim.

This invention relates to a tie holder, the general object of the invention being to provide means whereby each tie is held individually by a part of the holder so that the tie can be readily put in place and removed and with all the ties in view so that one can readily pick out the desired tie.

Another object of the invention is to provide a plurality of transverse supporting members each of which has a plurality of tie holders thereon with means for hinging all but the upper supporting member in position so that the lower members can be swung outwardly to enable the ties held by the upper member to be readily placed in position and will thus be overlapped by the lower supporting members.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is an elevational view showing the invention applied to a door.

Figure 2 is an edge view of one of the sup porting members.

Figure 3 is a section on the line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a section on the line 44 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is an elevational view with a stud shown in section.

Figure 6 is an edge view through a supporting member and showing the stud in elevation and the hanger in edge view.

Figure 7 is a horizontal sectional view showing a modification of the stud means.

Figure 8 is a view showing a different form of hanger.

Figure 9 is a view showing another form of hanger.

In these views the numeral I indicates a supporting member which is in the form of a rectangular elongated board. This board carries two longitudinally extending rows of studs 2, the studs of one row being alternately arranged with those of the other row and each stud has a small hanger 3 swivelled thereto so that the hanger can be swung about a horizontal axis. Of course, these hangers are to receive the ties, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1 and each hanger is to receive but one tie and by having the hangers staggered in the two rows all the ties will be seen and by providing a hanger for each tie the ties can be readily placed in the hangers and removed therefrom without danger of wrinkling or misplacing other ties. I also provide one or more other supports as shown at l' and these means are each hinged at one end to the door D or other member to which the ties are to be attached, the hinge being shown at 5 and as shown in Figure 3 this hinge is so formed that it spaces the member I away from the front face of the door so that the ties held by the upper member can pass through the space and the ties can be readily placed in position through the hangers of the upper member I by swinging the members I outwardly. Thus these lower members will act to hold the ties of the upper members in position and against being blown about by a wind and they will act to hold the ties smoothly andagainst wrinkling.

A latch member 6 connects the free end of each member I with the door and a knob is connected to the outer face of each member I at its free end for enabling the member to be released from the latch or connected therewith and to be swung outwardly.

The members 2 which carry the hangers may be in the form of plain studs shown in Figures 5 and 6 with portions of the studs fitting in holes in the board and cemented or otherwise fastened in place. The hangers are in loop form and have their free ends placed close together and passing into holes in the outer ends of the studs. These hangers may be of various shapes such as that shown in Figures 1 and 5 or that shown at 3 in Figure 8 which is of substantially rectangular form or that shown, at 3" in Figure 9. Also the studs may be formed as shown in Figure 7 at 2 where the stud is of two parts with the outer part having a threaded socket therein for receiving a screw 2".

As before stated the supporting members or 1 boards I and I can be placed on any side of a It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

In a tie supporting device, a supporting member, a pair of boards, two longitudinally extending and vertically spaced rows of studs carried by each board, the studs of one row being staggered in relation to the studs of the other row, small hangers depending from the studs and swiveled thereto for movement about a horizontal axis, each hanger having a straight horizontal 5 extending lower portion over which a tie is adapted to be looped, the lower board being spaced below the upper board, a hinge for hinging one end of the lower board to the supporting member, said hinge having that leaf which is connected to the board shaped to hold the board in spaced relation to the supporting member when the said board is in position paralleling the top board, whereby the lower board is spaced outwardly from the top board, and latch means for connecting the other end of the lower board to the supporting member, said latch means holding said other end of the board in spaced relation to the supporting member.
